Proverbs 4:14-19
14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
16 For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
19 The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.

Write about what this scripture passage means to you.

I believe this is saying don't get involved with evil people when they are up to no good. Walk away if you find yourself in a situation where they are trying to get you to join them in their mischief. They live, eat, drink, and breath to do wickedness. Wickedness is darkness and therefore blinding. Goodness is as light. It makes it easier to see straight. Goodness will become brighter and brighter the more it is practiced.
